Experiment No.1
Attenuation in Transmission line
Objectives:
Finding the influence of frequency and length on the attenuation of the line.
Equipments:
- The trainer board B4510
- Sine wave generator
- Oscilloscope
Tasks:
The theory, procedure, and connections are cleared in the companion Worksheet of the
experiment.
Results:
The attenuation measured using the equation:…………………………………………..…
1) Different Lengths:
In this part, you will measure the attenuation for different trunks of the transmission
line available on the trainer.
• Set the sine-wave frequency to approximately 70 KHz and level to 5 Vpp.
• Oscilloscope CH1 shows applied input CH2 shows outputs.
• Measure signal level at Input, and at 25, 50, 75, and 100 m lengths.
• Tabulate as under:
Vin = ………………………….

2) Different Frequencies :
In this part, you will measure the attenuation for different frequencies, between 70 KHz
& 2 MHz, of the sine generator at 100m.
• Set the sine-wave to level 5 Vpp.
• Oscilloscope CH1 shows applied input CH2 shows outputs.
• Measure signal level at Input, and output at100 m lengths.
• Tabulate as under for 15 measurements () :
Vin (F.G) = ………………………….
